Asteroid Mini Synthesizer Reference Manual.

*Mod VCA: to the right of the vca knob is an attenuated level for jack input 'ModV'. Use this to add

more expternal control to the VCA.

*Lin small black knob: this is a linear fm input for the VCO. I set it up with a really strong range. To give

you more insight, the original value was 100k resistor, I installed a 1K resistor instead. What this mod

does is let you modulate the vco into hypersonic metallic sounds if the knob is turned fully clockwise. I

recommend when not in use to turn it back to '0'. At times it came fine move the pitch of the vco even

with nothing patched into the 'Lin' jack, that is normal behavior. Like mentioned just turn it to 0 when

not in use.

*Sub small black knob: this is the level for the internal subharmonic generator. It is mixing 2

subharmonic frequencies at once. It is best to use this when the vco is at medium or higher frequency.

*Boost small black knob: this is the internal booster circuit to give the VCA an overdrive overtone. This

circuit is not included when you use the output jack 'SUM'. If you patch an external signal from another

module into the "Ext VCA" input jack the signal flow is: booster->vca->delay fx-> perc output, ¼" jack.

*Repeat and Time knob on the left: those are parameters for the delay fx. You will here no change if the

fx toggle switch is not engaged (set to FX), and the fx level knob is not turned clockwise.

*SYNC small black knob: This is variable sync circuit only found on the blue lantern triangle core design.

When not in use it is best to have this also set to zero, it is strong stuff. Use the 'Sync' input jack to

patch. Experiment with an external vco to create some bizarre synchronizations.

*MOD fm small black knob: this is an exponential 1v/per octave level in relation with the MOD input

jack.

*Toggle switch Triangle and Sine Waves: use this to select the vco output wave. You can also turn off the

triangle and sine wave from reaching the 'Sum' mixer when set in the middle position. The 'Off' can be

used for example when you only want to mix the Noise generator, square wave, or subharmonic square

waves.

*Pop knob: This is the internal striking spike hard wired to the vco. It creates a small punch sound when

turned clockwise. It is good for percussion sculpting.

*DEPTH + and – knob: this is a bipolar modulation knob for the internal vco. It is hardwired to the decay

knob. When it is in the + direction it will give the vco an impression of a kick or kraftwerk zap. When the

depth knob is used in the negative position it makes a wobble effect.

*Noise knob: this is the level knob for the internal noise generator. There is also a trimmer on the back

of the module near the bottom left. It determines the loudness of the noise generated. By default I set it

up low. If the 500k trimmer is set up too loud it can cause 'bleed' in the entire Asteroid Mini

Synthesizers output.
